Solinaris/Deranged/Cimmerian Shade Recordings/2016 CD Review

Solinaris are a band from Quebec, Canada that plays an experimental, progressive and technical form of death metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Deranged" which will be released on April 8th by Cimmerian Shade Recordings.

Clock sounds start off the album along with some radio stations and avant garde music elements being added onto the recording and after the intro the music goes into more of a heavier musical direction along with some death metal growls making their presence known on the recording and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.

Melodies can be heard in the guitar riffing at times and after awhile the music starts utilizing more progressive and technical structures while also adding acoustic guitars and melodic guitar leads into certain sections of the recording as well as adding synths in which also gives the music more of a symphonic feeling.

High pitched screams are used quite a bit throughout the recording and some songs also bring in violins and clean singing and a great amount of diversity can be heard throughout the recording and while a couple of songs are long and epic in length and there is also a brief use of slide guitars and psychedelic sounds.as well as one of t he songs being an instrumental and there is also a few seconds of blast beats towards the end of the recordign which also adds more brutality to the recording while also a dding in saxophones which brings in the influence of jazz music.

Solinaris plays a style of death metal that is very progressive and technical while also experimenting with many other musical styles to create something very original, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover a voyage through the mind of a serial killer living his last few seconds.

In my opinion Solinaris are a very great sounding experimental, technical and progressive death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Deranged" "Murder" "Field of trees" and "Red Rain". 8 out of 10.
